| Other than music, why are you an audiophile? Other than being able to optimally enjoy music, which is number one reason, I am sensitive to and therefore agitated by unnatural sounding music - too heavy bass, sloppy or fuzzy bass, muffled mids, zingy or tizzy highs, cymbals that don't sound l... | |
| aricaudio,mapletree,norh, quicksilver preamps Dr. Lloyd Peppard of Mapletree Audio is a gem of a person and designer/builder. Easy to communicate with (I've done e-mail only), will build to order and assist with decisions, and builds a wonderful, extremely cost-effective product. I have his 2... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE My first hi end speakers, EgglestonWorks Fontaines, have been the cornerstone of my system since 2005. Since their arrival I have yet to hear a speaker I'd prefer as their replacement. Many I've enjoyed, but none as replacement. So for me, by defa... | |
| Powerful and strong ss amp at low cost. Check out AVA amps - all you're looking for - powerful, built like tanks inside and out - even look like tanks - just add tracks and a turret! Great customer service AND prices for what you get. http://www.avahifi.com/root/equipment/amplifier/comp... | |
| spakers for various genres At $3500 range I'd go Zu Essence. Super easy to drive (i.e., 2A3 tube amps) and will rock your world and play all other genres very well too. And no sub required. These are really special speakers and Zu offers trial period. Beg Zu to have them se... | |
| spakers for various genres Budget? Willing to buy used? | |
| Thinking about buying Zu Definitions, need advice Cary 2A3 sounded very good with the Defs and Essence. Amazing the volume you can get with so few watts. | |
| Zu Essence mini review I experienced this same type of issue with other Zu speakers UNTIL they were properly set up. Too much toe-in will do this to them - thin the mids and etch the highs. Contact Zu for help on better positioning. | |
| Will mother move your speakers at Thanksgiving? Grimace - I'd draw an outline of a body between the speakers with chalk and spill some ketchup for blood effect. Then get some police tape and tape off the area where speakers and gear reside. If any one asks about the body which was there, just t... | |
| Thinking about buying Zu Definitions, need advice Just spent all day Saturday at a Zu House Party in Atlanta. They are scheduling events like this, taking the demo to the customers at several places aroung the country who do not have a nearby dealer and who were unable to fly out to RMAF. Check t... | |
| Does anyone know a dealer in Nashville, TN. I believe Eggleston Works (speaker mfr.) is in Nashville, I think. | |

| Lost - Your combined experience required I used to be a "wire is wire" guy until I heard Gregg Straley's Reality speaker cables. They openend up the sound and brought out clarity and dimensionality unheard until then. These are special cables that sound to me like what you may need. They... | |
| Zu Essence vs B&W ... larger soundstage and ... smoother more present mid-rangeI have not heard B&W 803's, but if your goal is as stated, this is exactly what Zu will give to you - IN SPADES!- IF properly set up. I don't think you can get better soundstage or m... | |
